ECONOMIC INNOVATIONS OF THE PAST ERA by A. Chernikov

“…It’s applied even nowadays while comparing different capital investmentswhich have equal results.The organization of project-constructive works and productions (as a method of minimizing the new manufactures’ introduction terms) was used in pre-war years and then in 1960s in space industry.A system of defectless production manufacture (1955) has become the basis for different systems of managing the production quality which are considered to be the prototypes of today KPI, and the communist labour movement (1958) brought up the labour person and encouraged him to be aware of morale stimuli. …”
